10 Gifts to Cheer Someone Up
Journal/Notebooks
Writing your thoughts and feelings down in a journal or aesthetically pleasing notebook is a great way to understand them better.
Journaling also helps improve mental health, boost emotional intelligence and enhance critical thinking skills.
Chocolate
We all know chocolate tastes delicious and makes you feel good but dark chocolate in particular also contains powerful antioxidants and flavanols that help fight inflammation and protect against cell damage caused by free radicals.
Tea
Brits know there’s little a good cup of tea can’t solve but it can also boost your immune system, fight off inflammation, and even ward off cancer and heart disease.
Mindfulness Cards
This card deck is made up of 52 different mindfulness exercises to help you throughout the day. They serve as the perfect reminder to make mindfulness meditations part of your routine.
Self Care Themed Gift
The Self Care Gift Box encourages taking time out to stay calm, pamper yourself, check in on your mental health, feel good and practice some self love.

A good puzzle reinforces connections between brain cells, improves mental speed and is an effective way to improve short-term memory according to the experts at Progress.
